A Kurdish fighter rests in a unfinished apartment building occupied by his unit after fighting to rescue fellow Peshmerga soldiers that came under attack from mortar and machine-gun fire.

There orders are to defend the newly claimed territory and protect the civilians in the area. © Omar Alkalouti/Pacific Press/Alamy Live News
